Description

Viking Star is the first ocean-going ship of this famous river cruise company and the best upper premium unit in terms of structure and services. Viking Star has a beautiful covered lido and a large spa and is a ship for all climates. The ship's small size allows her to reach many more ports than other ships. Viking Cruises' rational Scandinavian design is very welcoming and elegant, and the large open spaces allow you to enjoy the best of the sea views.

Three's the Charm

I liked

An amazing itinerary on a ship I have sailed on three times. Glorious and new-to-me ports.

I didn't like

Too short and wish I had had the luxury of the entire itinerary

Comment

Taking a Viking Cruise to their homelands is a treat. Everywhere you sail, the people are always to proud of the Nordic heritage of these beautiful ships

Second Time even better than the first!

I liked

Absolutely wonderful repositioning cruise with three full days at sea.

I didn't like

Just three full days when I could sail on this ship forever.

Comment

One thing about Viking is that sea days are all too often few and far between on these destination-oriented cruises. This wonderful ship is so full of great things to do that every sea day is a great pleasure.

Simply The Best

I liked

They say you never forget your first love...Viking Star was mine. A fantastic experience start to finish.

I didn't like

There aren't any...but for the record, there's no Casino and the passenger mix is overwhelmingly American and over 50.

Comment

My First Viking Cruise and absolutely everything about it was flawless. The ship, the food, the crew, the passenger compliment and especially the itinerary.

Ottima esperienza

I liked

Servizio e design

I didn't like

Rapporot qualità/prezzo variabile

Comment

Nave dal design "nordico", minimalista e moderno ma piacevolissimo. Ambienti accoglienti, caldi, salotti arredati con gusto e con pezzi preziosi come libri e strumenti di navigazione. Il servizio è di ottimo livello, dalla cabina alla ristorazione. Ci sono dei ristoranti di specialità con menu validi e molto interessanti, che si avvicendano nel corso della crociera. Ottima cantina, e musica di alto livello. Lunghi scali nei porti e frequenti overnight. Sul listino la qualità prezzo è un pò sbilanciata verso un luxury estremo che in realtà non è ma se si incontrano offerte suggerisco davvero di provare Viking.
